Conservatives elected in 2024 – county, state, federal – we warned you NOT to drink the political Kool-Aid!
In three short months, some of you have already bellied up to the “cool people bar.” You love having photos made with the political ruling class. (Aren’t you proud they aren’t treating you like a skunk at the party?)
Some of you are “knocking back” that Kool-Aid with gusto. Some of you have even started pouring the Kool-Aid, while trying to convince your dimming conscience that it’s smart, strategic, and oh so pragmatic to just relax and not be so “inflexibly” principled.
You are on the road to ruin.
Political Kool-Aid erases your memory.
Days, weeks, months soon fly by…
Politicians invariably fritter away time. Soon, there’s a crisis that, in most cases, they themselves created. Before you know it, they’ve helped spawn new government programs, laws, and regulations.
Why? Because the Governor wanted it. The Lt. Governor wanted it. Hollywood stars in cowboy hats wanted it. The Lobbyists wanted it. The County Judge, the Mayor, the Ivory Tower locals wanted it. The government employees wanted it. (See, all the really cool people wanted it!) With all those glitterati, no wonder the poor taxpayer saps are left behind!
Put down the Kool-Aid.
Back away from the bar.
Stop being a groupie.
Get to work for the people you’ve so quickly forgotten!
If you aren’t working every single day on an aggressive plan to CUT COSTS – stop fraud, waste, and taxpayer abuse – you will end up pushing the standard “we had no choice” tax increase excuse.
If you aren’t working every single day to stop the political barnyard fertilizer you said you hated, you soon won’t be able to see it or smell it. You. Will. Be. It.
The people are sick of excuses, and they’ll take it out on the very first political hide they can get at the ballot box. We say “Godspeed” to that.
The People have very long memories with screenshots of your campaign promises.
